For their subversive activities, the hackers received money through russian payment systems banned in Ukraine.

The group used secure channels to communicate with their russian supervisor.

In Poltava region, the SSU also shut down a bot farm working for russian special services. Occupiers used the farm to spread propaganda and disinformation.

Almost 7,000 fake accounts registered for phone numbers of Ukrainian and foreign mobile operators were used to spread destructive content.

The case file has been sent to court.

In Kyiv:

The SSU detained a russian Internet agent who called for seizure of power in Ukraine. He publicly supported the aggressive war against Ukraine and denied facts of war crimes committed by russia.

The SSU Cyber Department has blocked the activities of three enemy propagandists. These residents of Cherkasy region carried out active pro-kremlin propaganda on the pages of russian social networks and in the Internet communities with thousands of subscribers.
